It certainly seems to confirm that disorientation was a key factor - if he entered cloud in a turn, that is likely to produce the leans very quickly and the uncorrected left bank (apart from one brief attempt at wings level) is a good indicator of that. I have seen a number of students enter IMC like that and perform a similar manoeuvre - a turn with the climb dropping off eventually turning into a descent with them getting more and more confused by the indications because they are not focused on the AI.

Just one small point - the graphics say VRF while the audio correctly says VFR.
Thanks for you comment. BTW, I mentioned the VFR typos in the original post

I wish YouTube would let me fix it, but I decided to let it go once someone first pointed it out because I didn't want a "new" video with just that fix to show up in my subscriber feeds. I still wonder if I made the right decision
